What is a Dental Fissure Sealant?

7 Oct 2021 A fissure sealant is a thin, protective coating made from a tooth-coloured resin material. It is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth—the molars and premolars—specifically into the deep grooves (fissures) and small hollows (pits) where decay often begins. Just as every person has a unique physical build, dental anatomy varies significantly between individuals. Some people have naturally deeper pits and fissures, which can make these teeth more susceptible to the accumulation of plaque and bacteria. Our dental practitioners or oral health therapists assess each patient’s teeth to determine if sealants are a suitable preventative measure.
